That the City's Building By-law 6603/05 which appoints the Chief Building Official, Deputy Chief Building Official and Inspectors be amended as set out in Attachment 1 to Report PD 13-10. Executive Summary: This report recommends that the appointments schedule and the definitions section of the City's Building By-law 6603/05 be amended to reflect staff changes and the appointment of a Deputy Chief Building Official. Financial Implications: Not applicable. Sustainability Implications: Not applicable. Background: Council currently has in place By-law 6603/05, which is required to provide for the administration and enforcement of the Building Code Act within the City. This By-law includes a schedule of persons appointed pursuant to that Act. The recent resignation of Tim Moore, Chief Building Official (effective May 17, 2010) requires that his name be removed from the schedule. Further, and as outlined in the CAO's correspondence to Mayor and Council of April 26, 2010, it is appropriate at this time to establish the position of Deputy Chief Building Official as an interim step in filling the Chief Building Official position. The City's Building By-law 6603/05 (Schedule A) provides for a deputy, but the position is not currently assigned. This appointment was scheduled to be made in 2010 in any event, due to increasing building activity. The appointment of a Deputy Chief Building Official will provide an acting capacity to sustain the City's ability to issue building permits and regulate construction until such time as a Chief Building Official is appointed.
